Like It Is
Thumbpick Records
Already hailed by the Evening Standard as "a collection of muted beauty", Like It Is, the debut album from David Ogilvy, embraces both the singer songwriter's Scottish-American heritage, in its seamless fusion of Celtic storytelling and the American spirit of perpetual transience, and his years as a professional 'pop' writer, producer and session musician, in its slick yet modest delivery.
Reviews
